Though the abundant coal supply in
Northwestern Dakota. makes the fuel
question a simple one, yet a certain
percentage of timber is always an ad-
vantage TO any section. 1t means pro-
lection from strong winds in winter
and shade during the warmer months.
The Mouse aud De Laos river regions
are especially favored in this respect.
Large bodies of oak, ash, elm and pop
lar line the bends of the Mouse river.
and along the DE Lacs, the tributary
streams are so well forested that for
fifty miles timber is always in sight.
The bluff along the White Earth
river contain much ASA and oah, while
along the Missouri at the mouth of
the Little Muddy are 10000 acres of
heavy cottonwood body timber.
Every lake of any size has its groves
of trees often hundreds of acres in
extent

The closing exercises of the Model
Grades at the Normal on Monday night
were attended by numbers so great as
to find it impossible to be accommO-
dated with seats and many were obliged
to retire without enjoying the eXer-
cises. Such general attendance speaks
well for the community, and indicates
the appreciation in which the Normal
is held. and the interest the people
have in encouraging the younger pu-
pills of the school. The exercises were
of very interesting character and
gave abundant evidence OF the high
quality of instruction prevailing at this
model institution of learning. Moth
ing can show more clearly the contrast
in educational methods, between the
present and the past than the superior
advancement of the present day as ex-
hibited i'm the exercises of which we
are speaking. Such an achievement
would hardly have been possible under
the educational methods Of thirty
years ago.

Miss Clara NJ. Adams finished the
full course, emitting her to the di-
plOma of the school; the others, the
first two years of the course, called
the Elementary Course, emitting them
to the certificate only.
After Miss Adams essay, Pres.
Parker took pleasure in presenting tC
the audience, our old friend State Supt
j. b. Thayer, whose relations to the
school, as valued member of its
Faculty, date from the beginning OF
its existence and were severed within
che current year by his election 20 his
present office. In brief, well chosen
terms, the Prof. reviewed the history
OF the school from the outside stand
point, and expressed his appreciation
of the work it has tried and still tries
to accomplish.
Prof. Ihayer was followed by Hon.
w. IL. Chandler. Secretary of the
Board of Regents. who, in pertinent
address to the audience and the class,
chmpared the work of the public
school to the work of the armies OF
the Republic in the civil war, and
eXhorted the graduates to continued
effort towards securing the fullest
preparation for their work and striv
ing for the best results. Regent
Chandeliers long service on the Board
and intimate acquaintance with the
educational needs of the state give
peculiar weight to his utterance on
this subject. and none could fail tG
be impressed by his earnest words.
The certificates TO the Elementary
Glass, and diploma to Miss Adams, OF
the Senior Glass, were then presented
by Pres. Parker, and the exercises OF
the morning closed with the singing
of the sweet Scotch song, My Air
COuntTie.
